5 Sleek Ways To Wear Tie-Dye This Summer

Broaden your horizons: it's time to rethink tie-dye, the Nineties surfing staple that has found itself pulled from the craft classrooms of yesteryear to headline the spring runways as this season's most unlikely trend. It's had a modern update, of course. From Loewe's soft-hued approach to Michael Kors's streetwise handling (tie-dye dresses were teamed with blazers), it only took a day dress at Lemaire to make us sit up a little higher in our seats. This is tie-dye for grown-ups – shop Vogue's five favourite ways to wear it now.

Take the plunge: make like Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini, known as the Attico girls, with a dip-dyed tulle dress from their going-out glam brand. You’ll find it takes you from wedding guest to weekend mode in one hit.
